Wow...this picture is
Wow...this picture is extremely creeptacular. In two senses: it's a really creepy picture, and I have to say (at the risk of sounding like a jerk) that it takes a creep to look at the picture on the left and think "Not good enough!" This trend is so disturbing for so many reasons. (This particular example is disturbing because of the swirling blue vortex and the cold, inhuman eyes this child has been given. Stop looking at me, zombie baby!) It's one thing to erase an outrageous zit; but I don't think that can be conflated with this, and it's another thing altogether to completely revise your daughter's face in line with some outrageous standard of...what? This seems far from perfection to me.
This easily seems totally indefensible to me, in my opinionated judgmentality.
